Not a whole lot happened on Day 3 (and no photos). I met a friend / former co-worker for lunch at Kojak’s House of Ribs. I had some excellent pulled pork, and caught up with the goings-on in my old line of work. From there, I went to the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. This was an interesting visit, and got me tossing some concepts around in my brain. It lives up to its name as a museum of photographic arts, rather than a museum of photography. I must say that the museum is not nearly as big as I had hoped, and that I had a Hell of a time finding it – in terms of both where to park and how to get there from the parking structure. But in the struggle to find a place to park, I accidentally happened upon the Henry B. Plant Museum, which was my planned destination for Day Four. So I was able to do some recon and planning for the next day. Based on what I saw, I think I’ll be taking a lot of pics of the Plant Museum’s exterior.

Western Colorado, part one (autumn 2017)
